“We were all born with a certain degree of power. The key to success is discovering this innate power and using it daily to deal with whatever challenges come our way.” Les Brown

“I have discovered my innate power and was taking this quotation to heart before I had even heard of Les Brown. My innate power has allowed me to transform my life for the better in just over four years and I am confident that I will continue to be able to transform my life in the future by utilizing my innate power. Anyone who wants to know how to deal with the inevitable challenges of life should look inside themselves to discover and then begin nurturing their innate power so they can use it to the fullest. I did and my life changed dramatically in just a few short years.” Stan Burman

“Just because Fate doesn’t deal you the right cards, it doesn’t mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.” Les Brown

“I have been playing poker for many years so I can appreciate this quote as Fate can deal you some bad hands in both poker and in life. When it comes to your own life you have to play the cards that you get as best as you can as and do all that you can with what you have to work with. I know for a fact that I have never heard of anyone who had Fate deal them a better hand. I have heard of many people who played the cards that they received as best as they could and have been very successful. In the end all anyone can do is play the cards that Fate deals to you as best as you can and as far as I am concerned that beats giving up any day. You cannot win at either poker or life if you do not stay in the game. My philosophy is that as long as I know in your heart that I did the best that I could taking into consideration the circumstances there is no need to feel either guilt or shame. I know that in my own life just over 4 years ago that the cards that Fate had dealt to me were the worst possible cards. I dug deep into myself and found the courage and motivation to play the cards that I was dealt as well as I possibly could and I now have a viable and growing business that is supporting me and my wife and I feel like I have been given a second chance in life.” Stan Burman

“Other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.” Les Brown

“I really love this quote. It reminds me of the old saying that opinions are like noses everybody has one. I know from my own experience that it can be hard not to let the opinions of others influence you to some extent. But other people’s opinion of you is not reality, it is just the opinion of someone and that is all that it is. It does not have to become your reality unless you allow it to become your reality. The choice is always in your hands, not anyone else. I wish I had taken this quotation to heart when I was much younger but that reminds me of another old saying that goes better late than never. I have taken this quotation to heart for several years now and I have found out that it gets easier the longer you stay with it.” Stan Burman

“When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.” Les Brown

“Letting life knock you down without getting back up is a recipe for failure. I have lived long enough to have had life knock me down many times but I have always gotten back up. It may have taken me longer than it should have to get back up but I have always gotten back up. And I agree with this awesome quote that landing on your back is a good idea at least figuratively speaking as looking up will often motivate you to get up. Getting up when life inevitably knocks you down is the only sure way that I know of to achieve anything in life. I was in a situation just over 4 years ago where life had really knocked me down but I resolved not to let that adversity stop me and since that time I have come a long way. If you do not get up after life knocks you down you will never accomplish much of anything.” Stan Burman
